About this listen

 Meet Lisa Zimmermann, a lactation consultant and pediatric nurse from Lombard IL. She is a home visitor, meeting families in their homes to help them feed their babies and adjust to their new role as parents. Lisa relies on many other professionals to help her clients achieve their goals for feeding, pain management and a return to equilibrium. As she has met many providers after a recent move, Lisa has wished their conversations dug a bit deeper, and she was getting to know the person she was meeting- not just the professional. She is also known for meeting new parents ”where they are”, meaning providing an opportunity for some laughter, education and positive feedback. This is why she created this podcast! She likes to joke with new parents they have been upgraded to the 2.0 operating system- if they like it or not! There are things we all miss about our lives before we were parents, but we also discover the rich complexities of being a parent as time goes on. We all have ups and downs, our own parenting styles and have learned about parenting from our children. Tune in to hear Chicagoland Parenting Stories. We hope you laugh a little, have some food for thought and learn something every episode.Copyright 2023 All rights reserved. Parenting Relationships
